For businesses operating within our centre, such as retailers and kiosk traders, we collect business and personal data such as names and contact details in order to create contracts and administer our business operations. Some of this information is required to conduct these services.

Our car parks utilise number plate recognition systems in order to provide an efficient service, monitor usage and provide information for security purposes. If required to do so we may provide this information to law enforcement agencies.

To protect our centre, shoppers, and retail staff we operate CCTV systems throughout our centre and car parks which record images for security. We do this on the basis of our legitimate business interests. If required to do so we may provide this information to assist with law enforcement.
